I have been performing hair transplantations for over 25 years here in Louisville. Although our techniques have advanced, the concepts are the same.

In the past, I removed the hair in strips from the back of the head. Then my team cut them into small hair transplant grafts (micrografts and minigrafts). The tiny grafts were placed into small tiny incisions made in the bald or thinning hair areas. Today, we do Neografting , a technique that simply harvests each graft separately from the back of the head without the long incisions, and then the small micrografts are placed into tiny holes in the bald or thinning area. This provides more uniform, even grafting, and avoids the long scar. The hair transplantations are performed with local anesthesia, with minimal discomfort post-procedure, and creates very natural results. As with all hair transplants, more than one procedure is often needed to achieve optimal fullness. It is always important to remember that no matter how great the hair transplantation is, and they are great, in my opinion, the hair density is always a bit less than natural hair.

Of course, there are many non-surgical options that can be highly effective in increasing hair fullness for those with only thinning hair.

Nutrafol ® is a natural supplement that has produced outstanding improvement in hair fullness in men and women.

Many of our patients take Propecia (men only) or use topical Rogaine ® (men or women). PRP (platlet-rich plasma) injections are effective in increasing hair fullness and can be used alone through a series of injections or as an enhancement treatment during the hair transplantation. Watch out for Exosomes , the newest treatment that may just battle PRP for the top spot in hair growth enhancement.
